Laptop cooler
y laptop was constantly overheating after
playing video games for hours at a time, no
surprise there, but I wanted to fix the problem
anyway without having to fix my addiction.
I got two computer fans and began testing which
direction of airflow was better. My computer
sucked air in from the bottom, so I made sure the fans also blew the
air into it. I began building the base around the two fans. I cut a base
out using a jigsaw and started focusing on the electronics.
Since computer fans use three-point connectors and 15 volt
charges, all I had to do was find a computer charger with the same
specifications and buy a lamp switch to be able to turn the pad on
and off. I glued all the pieces together and stuck the wiring inside.
The fans are doing a great job and, after only 20 minutes of gaming,
lower my CPU temperature by 60 degrees.M
